Lotus Exige S, Driven and Detailed plus a BMW with trick doors VLOG 027

[@STKS1991]

I know this might be too much effort, but having a little superimposition with the 'now playing' in a corner would make me so happy.

[@apexdetail85]

Man... I hope that drone never fails while directly above the car! Lol Anyway absolutely love your videos and the time and effort put into them! Cheers!

[@LLLLuuuuKKKeeee]

Would love to see you show your touch-up paint process!

[@CherylCold]

Im enjoying these videos more and more. You've done an Evo2 Lord Blue and Exige, so now I know how to wash them... Now you need to find a Golf Syncro country to keep my wife happy. Seriously mate, your vids and quality of work is inspiring. Please come to Romania for a holiday and wash our cars :)'Loving the content and car variety... Looking forward to the Quattroporte next hit.

[@xiingli]

Awesome you also follow Matt!! Love it when worlds collide. Much respect to the both of you.

[@daaaveeeh]

xiingli Matt also follows Jim, I spotted a comment he left on one of Jims vlogs, the lady in red Porsche I believe :)

[@xiingli]

That's awesome! Didn't realize Matt knew what's up over here! Thanks for sharing :)

[@thiemominati690]

Who is Matt ? Another good Detailing Channel ?

[@daaaveeeh]

Thiemo Minati Search Obsessed Garage on KZbin :)

[@xiingli]

Thiemo, more of an obsessive channel about everything but more detail focused :) Awesome stuff there.

[@xr8brisbane]

Absolutely love your videos. The quality of your detailing and editing is absolutely spot on. By far my favourite youtube channel.

[@stephenmuir5108]

Top job as always Jim - hope you are well. Great to see White Details going from strength to strength. Really appreciate the VLOG detail and access to lots of useful info. Keep up the good work. Cheers - Ste.

[@thiemominati690]

Hey Jim thx for the time and effort you put into these vlogs - they are awesome 👌even my girlfriend likes them 😅 I would love to see a room tour in your garage - where you show your stuff, tools and organisation ✨ Maybe you can tell something more about how you sell a detail to your customers, when the customers knows not much about your work or about detailing at all. Big Fan greetings from Germany 📍

[@rsturba]

Love the videos, they are a must view for me. Don't want to 'complain' but the music level compared to you speaking means I turn the volume up and down a fair bit. Everything else is spot on, white detail level editing 👍🏻

[@benefactor2931]

I am a professional detailer also, I recently acquired the Sony WH-H900N - h.ear 2's. They are bluetooth, noise canceling, gesture controlled, super comfortable and deliver amazing sound quality and noise cancellation. Can be listening on 30% volume while operating a buffer at speed 4 and hear the words of the song perfectly. Highly recommend, I would like to try the B and W set you have for comparison, they look very nice as well! Cheers!

[@daaaveeeh]

Best. Intro. Ever!

[@rbdetailing9832]

awesome work as always Jim. I too work 5-6 days a week doing paint correction details, always long, tiring hours. And like yourself, find the customers reaction makes it all worth while. I realise you have many views and comments, but would appreciate a shout out in a future video. You videos keep me inspired to keep improving my Detailing game. Thanks alot for your time and effort in what you do Richard @RBDetailing

[@BarneyWobba]

I LOVE S1 and S2 Exiges. Great job, wow.

[@asett31]

Nice one Jim! Cheers for the mention!

[@Doggepp]

I want to see a more detailed look on how you clean really pitted/dirty wheels. Not just for information, but also because its super satisfying watchin some really dirty wheels get clean

[@kyled4156]

As always great video my friend!

[@phil_al]

Thank you Jim for answering my question. As always very good work!

[@craigb4719]

Some amazing drone footage

[@MirandaDetailing]

what where you listening to on the headphone when you put them up the mic? almost sounded like old school MXPX?

[@aurorabell1259]

So I have started from Vlog 001 and now I am on vlog 027. I am curious to know if you ever go into detail on how you do the wash and the decontamination ( Iron & Tar removal) stages? Thank you for what you do. Love watching your videos. Something calming about them.

[@bbdetailing9123]

I'm not big on having ear buds, headphones, whatever. but the noise cancelling Sony makes me reconsider. I'll try it out. thanks

[@jaykay7932]

Jim; really love the tooth pick idea for cleaning and correcting. Do you find that after touching up chip marks you have to hand polish that particular area, or is using a machine fine? I've yet to invest in a DA polisher as ive been doing my cars by hand, however my elbows are starting to get sore!

[@canalboating]

Great work Jim, I'm really enjoying watching and learning from your vlogs, many thanks for taking the time to make, edit and post them. Don't know if it's been asked before but I wondered if you ever did any form of wet sanding? just wondering if a system like the mirka abralon 4000 grade discs via short throw air da may take out some of the more serious defects you might encounter thus saving you time on the cutting stages. Cheers Norm.

[@stubob7454]

absolutely love your honesty and straight to the point answers ! again cracking work , keep it up captain shitbeard 🤣🤣

[@benefactor2931]

I use CarPro TRIX and it works great. If there is more stubborn tar I will use Rustoleum Wax &Tar, it is economical and effective. Cheers!

[@smith12whu]

Another great video. What's the biggest mistake/learning curve you have made when working on a customers car?

[@CharlieVane21]

I would guess that a detailer has to be careful of getting water in the electronics. Could prove very expensive.

[@jaykay7932]

you cant go wrong really, my first mistake was impatience. The first time i tried to polish out scratches on my car i cause more harm than good. I knew nothing about clear coats, cutting, decontamination etc etc... and its easy to rush when you are in your garden on a sunny day, hearing all sports cars and bikes flying passed. Detailing is easy once you master patience. Problem is, here in the UK it can rain more often than not... so what takes Jim 5/6 days takes me that much in weeks sometimes. Just finished doing my Golf R post winter detail and it took me 3 weeks!!!

[@Mochachinoexfk]

I was going to ask this too, maybe from your early days, Jim, before you gained your wealth of experience? Ever made a mistake that couldn't be rectified by your own skills? Everyone in every industry makes mistakes, all part of learning :)

[@Cybersix6666]

Taking your customer car for spin

[@StevenJamesPorter]

Green Day in the headphones!

[@kylenixon9152]

Love the content and I'm always looking forward to the next video! Question for you, what is the biggest thing you have learned over the years of detailing? If you had to look back at when you were "newer" or "less experienced" what would be the biggest thing you learned as your experience level grew and that you wished you knew sooner rather than later. Thanks!

[@saulmunoz3731]

Wonderfull job! What do You think rinseless wash products and systems? How safe they are? Many detailers are using them more and more I including

[@Clint_L]

That email was awesome. I would have known you're becoming the T-Cut distributor :) hahahahahah Kidding of course

[@Airikwong714]

Love your videos, refreshing approach and stylistically captivating. Why'd you switch back to a PC for your 3" border work? Rupes give out on you? Cheers from California!

[@tomatoindustriesdetailing2955]

Stunning results...Just a question ...The reason you didn't tape up around the windscreen trim? Or did you already and hit with 3" pad and then removing and completing with larger pad?.

[@MichaelWarbux]

First thing's first, those drone shots were awesome! Great job on both vehicles. Here's a question, what do you think about applying sealants or polishes or waxes on windshields? Do you think it's worth it and even helps with the rain while driving?

[@jaykay7932]

Thats quite a good question. My understanding of polish and wax is that they bond with the vehicles paint work (similar to how contaminents do). Id say polishing and waxing glass is a waste of time... however i do polish and wax the light covers on my cars (which are plastic). As for glass, you can buy specific products which cause water beading and resist the windscreen wiper blades for longer. I use Gardx Glass gard. It came free with my Golf R and is brilliant stuff.

[@MichaelWarbux]

I'll check that out. The only reason I bring it up is because Jim did it in this video (8:16). Thanks for the tip!

[@MrMully48]

Hi Jim, great vlog as usual, have you tried the scholl range of polishes.

[@charles321]

Do you dispose of your wipe down cloths after the coating? Just wondering as you washed a heap of towels.

[@Audittr2108]

Great opening sequence with the Lotus. Must have taken ages to set up all the camera angles and even drones footage to boot! I see you're using the PC a bit lately. Any particular reason for getting the old girl out?

[@yaboijames_]

Please do a E36 M3, I've got an E36 and would like to see how you'd go about detailing the interior and other aspects of the car

[@koblars]

Great video. Just became a patreon to support all the time you put in Just wondering. Did you find a replacement for The 3" cuttingdisc

[@jtm1979]

How does those three compounds rank in terms of cuttign ability? I have used m101 and it kicks ass but dusts. I love Nanolex Heavy Cut and Angelwax Resurrection. Anyway i would like to try Menzerna 400 and Koch Chemie H8. Which one cuts more and is it close to M101? Thanks :)

[@TheKeyBoardJockey]

Another great video! However, is the right rear tire a left tire? It looks backward.

[@mattiel9156]

liked the video before even watching...

[@TheUnbrokenx]

Jim, what machine do u like and use the most? The Rupes bigfoot 15 or the Duetto?

[@goldfingerrus]

Hello Jim, I am your fan from Russia. Your works look's great. Maybe somebody asked you this question, but i want to ask it by myself. Why do you especialy worked by the dual action polishers? because orbital is more powerful and works faster.

[@Quibjeb]

Been thinking about this a lot lately as I detail cars on the side to avoid re-cleaning everything you always want to start at the top go to the bottom you never want to do something that's going to make something you already cleaned dirty again clean the interior first or the exterior? Everyone I see do it cleans the outside first but seeing as I get a whole bunch of dirty cars I always find for me it makes more sense to clean the inside and then clean the outside any cons of this that I'm not thinking of or pros to doing it the other way

[@duncanyoung8239]

Quentin Piliero I'm the same as you Question, I use my air compressor to blow the dust and dirt forward from under the seat and loosen dust frm the headliner etc and find the dust- not all of it but a decent amount- settles on the exterior, hence why I do the interior first

[@a.k1311]

Please do Not disturb.... master with skills @ work!!!

[@fardrol]

Legend!!

[@martynlockwood8119]

Great Job as always Jim! What Microfibre cloths do you use (the yellow ones)?

[@thiemominati690]

Martyn Lockwood He got links in the description - i got some of these via amazon - they are great 😄

[@martynlockwood8119]

Thank you, No links to the microfibre cloths in the description I'm afraid.

[@thiemominati690]

Kirkland Signature Ultra Plüsch Microfaser Tücher, 36 Stück www.amazon.de/dp/B00GARQKII/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_3K0izbDJC2ADQ

[@martynlockwood8119]

Topman! thank you!

[@Jnaszty559]

If you have your rims coated with a protective coating do you need to iron out the rims every so often? Or just use soap and a wheel cleaner?

[@TheUnbrokenx]

Natty Brah Regular wash with soap and water is normally enough to keep the wheels in great condition when coated. But u could use a PH neutral iron remover from time to time.

[@matthewrowan6452]

Hi Jim, do you have any devices that control dust in the unit? Some kind of air filtration or something similar?

[@Mark-ir9gl]

Hi Jim amazing as normal. What blower do you use for drying the cars . Thanks Mark 👍

[@jamesenvine897]

Mark Tuff check out the description, its listed there :)

[@Mark-ir9gl]

James Envine cheers mate forgot to look there 🙄👍

[@golfR442]

What was used to polish the glass on the lotus? The windscreen on my Lexus is covered in scratches cause by previous window tint

[@a.t.2861]

What happens, when i polish over areas with stone impacts on the paint? Thanks and Greets from Germany

[@aceraf158]

Don't go for the 4cylinder 1 series diesels, they're notorious for timing chain failures due to the plastic guides snapping and destroying the engine.

[@GstarCurtis]

oh boy oh boy!

[@GTRESTAURATION]

Always great ! Spell it "korrrr chemie" ;-) right spelling in German

[@samhochman5980]

How hard do you think that infiniti paint is ?

[@raionsama92]

what polish do you use for windshields?

[@3150xYz]

What do you do about stone chips on bonnet, curbed alloys? Can this be protected?

[@hasangreaves2546]

e2k Alloys possibly a refurb, stone chips,how many?Please check out Larry Ammo NYC, he has a good vid on stone chips and realistic expectations.

[@adamwills781]

green day on the sony's. my man!

[@epicracer4332]

difference between micro fibre cutting pad and foam cutting pad?

[@jtm1979]

microfiber is a lot more agressive! Even yellow hex or Rupes blue doesnt even come to close microfiber pad.

[@pruutus]

13:47 defekts?

[@DoM-Inik]

Am from Germany, Crystal Serum Light Can you layers? So 2 layers

[@PoloOrbit]

If you do consider upgrading your camera rig and want to keep it reasonably small, consider looking at the Sony A6500 with a 16-70mm Lens and Rode VideoMic Go. This would be a big upgrade in video and sound quality etc. I'll provide amazon links in case your interested :) Sony A6500: www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Compact-Stabilisation-Autofocus-Touchscreen/dp/B01M2WAE29/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1494874524&sr=1-1&keywords=sony+a6500 16-70mm Lens: www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-SEL1670Z-Mount-APS-C-16-70mm/dp/B00EUFTT62/ref=pd_sim_421_6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=XAPWAETGKWR5HS24G9QF Rode VideoMic Go: www.amazon.co.uk/d/Camera-Photo/R%C3%98DE-VideoMic-GO-Camera-Microphone-Black-Red/B00GQDORA4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494874586&sr=8-1&keywords=rode

[@ganses88]

What do you use after polishing? What is in the spray bottle? Greetz from Germany

[@gartomack1]

I've always wondered the same thing

[@thiemominati690]

ganses88 Meinst du was er auf den Lack sprüht nach jedem Poliervorgang ? Ich glaube das ist Isopropanol = IPA - Damit holt er die Politur wieder runter und er verhindert so das der (mögliche) Staub Mikrokratzer verursacht

[@ganses88]

Ich mein das was er hier bei 3:30 benutzt

[@thiemominati690]

ganses88 Gute Frage - er hat in den anderen VLogs glaub noch nie was von GTechnig dafür benutzt

[@jaykay7932]

it could be the alcohal he refers to (post polish) which gets rid of any excess polish powder created from his DA polisher.

[@Kavsen95]

Does anyone know what prewash foam he uses?

[@hasangreaves2546]

Possibly AM details Foam.

[@igorbrendel158]

Respect Buiteful job👍👍👍

[@mattrussell3070]

Great vid as always. Where are you based as I may ask you too take a look at my car?

[@collaredgreens1600]

16:47 ... this needs a gif.

[@STKS1991]

I can't be the only one that paused when he opened the cupboard at 4:50 to see what he has.

[@MikeEM1]

Love your videos. You should try out Griot's Fast Correcting Cream. Fantastic compound.

[@MikeEM1]

@29:40 just realized you read my comment. Cheers!
